from the Columbus Dispatch,
No one in the Blue Jackets organization has spoken to center Alexander Svitov in the 10 days since his plans to play this season in Russia were brought to their attention via the Internet.
And the club isn’t yet sure of its next step.
“We’re still considering everything,” Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said. “You can try and fight it (in the Russian court), but you’re not going to have any success in their legal system, just as they haven’t had any success in the (North American) court system….
The Blue Jackets will place Svitov on the suspended list in September when training camp begins. They won’t have to pay his $1 million salary this season, nor will he take up a roster spot or count against the salary cap.
“At some point, we’ll be within our rights to suspend him for the year,” Howson said.
